THIS COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES ARE A COMPLETE FRAUD! I CAUGHT THEM CHARGING MY CREDIT CARD WITHOUT MY APPROVAL! THEIR SCAM IS THIS: YOU SIGN UP FOR A FREE 7-DAY TRIAL MEMBERSHIP TO ACCESS THEIR GOVERNMENT GRANT RESOURCE GUIDE. THEY "TEST" TO SEE IF YOUR CREDIT CARD IS "ACTIVE" AND CHARGE YOUR ACCOUNT $1.00. THEN, WHEN THAT GOES UNNOTICED BY YOU, THEY THEN CHARGE YOUR CARD $4.95. IF THAT CHARGE GOES UNNOTICED, THEY CHARGE $9.95. I FINALLY "NOTICED" THEM CHARGING AND STOPPED THEM. IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETECT BECAUSE THEY... read full review »

I had an HP all in one printer that served me well for 4 years until I wore the belt out. I thought it was a good enough product to buy another HP. I ended up buying an HP Officejet J 4550. I've had it for nearly 6 months. It has been the most disappointing piece of crap I've purchased. I installed the driver that operates it. When I tried to use the scanner; it did not work. When I tried to use the fax, it did not work. I did manage to get it to print and copy, but the quality is sub-standard. Even when I tell it to print... read full review »

I was recently duped by the very deceptive "free CD offer" at www.grantwritingexpress.com (lots of complaints about these guys, and they all tell the same story). After cancelling the "membership" that I never intended to sign up for in the first place, I hoped that the charges to my card ($74.95) would stop ... But yesterday, I spotted another charge on my card (for $29.99) from this website: www.myfitnessmentor.com I have NEVER visited this site prior to getting charged, so there was no LEGAL way for them to get my... read full review »

I saw the advertisement online for a trial bottle of Acai Bery for $5.95. The product seemed to be backed by Oprah and Dr. Oz. I ordered a bottle which never came and 15 days later I was charged $88.62. A week after that I was charged $94.57 for an additional bottle, which did come in the mail. Well I freaked at all of the charges and just wanted my money back. The 1-800 number on the statement was not a working number. Luckily I contacted someone off of the website, but the phone connection was very broken up. They have received my bottle but I haven't received any refunds yet. They are a bunch of scammers! read full review »

I was also recently scammed by this company. I agreed to the $3.95 "shipping" charge for a CD about grants/grant writing, and was later billed $74.95. I cancelled, and was sent "screen shots" of the form I supposedly agreed to -- these were NOT shots from the form I actually filled out. When I tried to call the number listed by this company, I was unable to get through 98% of the time. The two times that I did get through, the phone was answered by an automated service, which offered to direct my call to the next available... read full review »

Me and my girlfriend started living here a few months ago and it has been horrible. First, there is not enough parking so sometimes we are forced to park in covered parking that costs extra every month. I then got my vehicle broken into and for paying $705 a month for a 579sq ft apt you would think that there would be somekind of security officer. Well, there is a and he cannot be foud EVER! Second there is always loud noises and people drive their cars very un couteously. When we tried to get the security officers number the mgt office... read full review »

Advertised kit for 2.95 for shipping and handling but also charged $59.90 2weeks later. I called to dipute charge and they would not credit my money back. My credit card company said to fax letter with details as I am doing. The ad was very deceptive with the shipping and handling fee as a recurring monthly charge after 14day free trial. read full review »

Bought Ethos to improve gas mileage and decrease car pollution. Also as part of their attraction was to pay them $5 and receive gas vouchers. These were to be redeemed along with $100 in gas receipts of one particular gas brand per month. I was to receive a $25 gift card for each month's redemptions for a total of$100 plus my $5 back. No gift card ever came, and the next batch of vouchers were returned to me. The address in Largo, FL was no good. The 1-800 number was also not valid. read full review »

When I signed up for pioneer telephone long distance service I was thrilled to have such a reasonably priced service that was only billed for minutes used. They offered 800 numbers as well. Great! The only problem is they continued to bill my credit card for the 800 numbers on a disconnected number for 18 months! I had contacted them after 3 months to discontinue billing the credit card and thinking that they were billing the card for my new number and changed the credit card info. I continued to receive bills from the first credit... read full review »

So I have now read a bunch of reports on Paragon Properties here on Rip off report and I am completely up in the air. I put a down payment on a property in Playa del Mar in Feb 2006. I had no intentions on paying it off until the infrastructure was in place and I was able to build. As is the case for many of you, NO INFRASTRUCTURE. Per the contract, it was supposed to be in within 18 months of the date I signed the contract. Now I live in Costa Rica, and have learned many things about how things work down here.

Me and a lady friend of mine rented this apartment here in Rockdale. Never in our lives that troubles would arrise. From attempted sexual assault to a female to ordering a tenant around like a slave. I and my gf were afraid to call police on the manager. He would threatened to kick me and her out because we was 4 days late on rent. He also made the statement that rent was going to be raised. The rent was paid on time for almost 2 years. There had been nothing but hades living in the apartments. From loud music to rough parties. The... read full review »

This company charged me for voice mail that was already in my telephone package, so a service that was useless, I didn't need or want it. They "claim" my husband signed up for it on the internet, but he did not and they could not prove that he did. I also discovered they did the same thing on my business phone. So look at your telephone bill, the charge is $12.95 and is listed under a billing service name, such as "The Billing Resource" or "ILD Teleservices." This Florida Company has many different names, but I... read full review »

I am sending forth this complaint about GCU (Grand Canyon University) which is supposed to be a Christian college. I had been wanting to attend school at GCU since Dec. 2007.

I believe I ordered this product from and email. Unfortunately for me I did not keep the email. The way this was explained is that the product was free soley the shipping and handleing was my fee, which I believe was $4.99 or so.

I would appreciate any information regarding this matter forwared to me if you can be of any help in this matter. Thank you, Mrs. Patricia R. Peters read full review »

I really hope the CEO finds and reads this complaint. In one way shape or form I will find a way to contact him about the poor customer service I was just admitted too.
